Antenna Support Rope, 3/16" 1000', Black, Round, 100% Dacron Polyester Rope

100% Dacron Polyester Rope

Our Polyester rope features:

• Excellent UV and abrasion resistance.

• Won't rot like cotton and other materials.

• Low stretch (very important when supporting antennas).

• It's strong (much stronger than Polypropylene).

• It's soft and very easy to work with.

• Round Design Works Great With Pulleys.
  Flat rope is very difficult to use on pulleys.

Common uses include;

• Tents

• Marine

• Trotline

• Awnings

• Farm

• Flagpole Rope

• Antenna Support Rope such as

  • Dipole

  • Inverted V

  • Longwire (random length) antenna

3/16" rope is the perfect size for supporting large ham radio wire antennas when you need a little more strength than 1/8".

Polyester is the best choice for antenna support rope or any outside application where strength, less stretch, UV and abrasion resistance is important.

• Unlike Nylon, Polyester Rope is less elastic and therefore stretches much less. In fact Nylon Rope will stretch anywhere from 15 – 25% percent at it’s break point. Polyester on the other hand will normally stretch from 5 – 10%, at it's break point.

• Nylon absorbs water and is 10-20% weaker when wet. Polyester is not affected by water and maintains its strength when wet.

• Polyester Rope has better UV resistance, and is more abrasion resistant than nylon.

• Polypropylene cost less but has limited resistance to ultraviolet light and is susceptible to friction.
